I'm coming to the defense of that install. I believe that is a pre-charged line-set. You aren't supposed to cut those. Therefore, any extra line-set that you have needs to be left coiled up in a big mess. That's the way they wanted it back then.

I would still take the extra time to cut it and make it look nice. I'm OCD about things like that.

You would have been screwed if you cut it. The line sets weren't copper. If you cut them they were ruined. If I remember correctly we could get 25, 35 and 50' sets.

We used all sorts of precharged line sets, they were all copper, Aeroquip fittings on the ends. We cut them to length, soldered them back together, vacuum pumped them and thighetened them up. Never had a problem.

The only problem with them was the Aeroquip fittings didn't like to seal if you took them apart and tried to put them back together. For some reason it seamed liike half the time they would leak the second time around.
